Hey everyone!
New to the game. My question has to do with live remote video productions.
Just got a 30" dish for mother in law to watch Thai TV. We're apparently locked into Telstar5 and have a Traxis DBS-2500 receiver.
Question: Can I now shoot a live remote, transmit to Telstar 5 and receive it at home? I would then theoretically push it through to a server host and stream my production live on the web.
So that's the general idea. So go ahead everyone tell me how naive or crazy this thought is. I can take it!

Hmmm, I am not sure how you would be able to do this at remote locations with the Slingbox that I recommended. If you were at a place (i.e. hotel, etc...) with free wi-fi it could work if you were close enough to pick that up. Or, you could get a cell phone or even a satellite phone that is capable of a high speed internet connection you could do that anywhere.
I am not sure how much those services are for cell phone or satellite phones with internet service. But you would just hook up the phone to the slingbox via the ethernet port. And then hook up your audio/video feed either through one video recorder or through the video component(s) that have multiple feeds to it.
Your mother and other clients would still have to have high speed internet service at their homes, or place to get that feed. This is still relatively cheap ($45-70+/month) compared to the $1000-10,000+/month for the satellite options in this thread.
The only downside to this is that only one person at a time can connect to the slingbox remotely. And that person would have to have a computer with internet service to be able to watch. If more than one person needed to watch, then you would have to purchase more than one slingbox and hook it up which may be a problem as you would then need two or more cell/satellite phones with service (one per slingbox) to hook up. There is a way to watch it on a tv without a computer (which is what I am looking into for my parents to watch), but I don't know how to do that yet.
The more I type about this, the more I see it may be a problem with the issues I touched on above (internet service, cell/satellite service, number of slingbo
s) required vs. # of users needing to watch, etc...). I don't know, it may or may not work. Sorry, a good idea in my head turned into issues that I see with it

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.
Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop!
If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office.

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home though
You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...
For a whole generation of adults it was in the 1960s and 1970s.You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
